Ingabe ukuhlala ngaphansi kwe-air conditioner usuku lonke kungawonakalisa amaphaphu akho?

I-New Delhi: Kuzakhamuzi eziningi zasemadolobheni, ukuvula isiphephetha-moya kuzwakala kuyinto evamile. Ipholisa izindlu ezishisayo, yenza ukulala kube lula ngobusuku obushubile, futhi ikhulula ubunzima bezinsuku ezinde zokusebenza. Kodwa ngemuva kwalokhu kududuza kuhlezi ukukhathazeka okuthe xaxa—ukuncika njalo ku-air conditioning kungase kucekele phansi kancane kancane impilo yokuphefumula. Eminyakeni yamuva, odokotela bebelokhu bebona ukwanda kwezimo ze-hypersensitivity pneumonitis—isimo samaphaphu esihlobene nokuzivikela komzimba esivame ukunganakwa size sibe sibi. Uxhumano? Ama-air conditioner anganakekelwa kahle kanye nokungangeni komoya okwanele ezindlini zasemadolobheni ezivalwe ngci.

UDkt. A Jayachandra, uMqondisi Wezokwelapha kanye ne-Senior Interventional Pulmonologist, Izibhedlela ze-CARE, i-Banjara Hills, i-Hyderabad, uchaze ukuthi ama-air conditioner angathinta kanjani impilo yamaphaphu.

Impilo Efihliwe Ngaphakathi Kwe-AC Yakho

Ama-air conditioner asebenza ngokuzungeza umoya ongaphakathi endlini. Ngokungafani newindi elivulekile elivumela ukugeleza okusha, i-AC iphusha umoya ofanayo opholile kaningi ngezihlungi namapayipi. Lapho lezi zihlungi zivalekile noma zinganakwa, ziphenduka izikhala zesikhunta, amagciwane, kanye nezinhlayiya ezinhle zezinto eziphilayo. Umoya ngamunye ube usuthwala lezo zinto ezicasulayo uziyise emaphashini.

Kubantu abaningi, ukuchayeka kanye nje kungase kubangele ukukhwehlela okuncane noma ukucasuka. Kwabanye abantu, ukuphefumula ngalezi zinhlayiya kaningi kungabangela i-hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Kuwukungezwani komzimba ekujuleni kwamaphaphu, okuholela ekuvuvukeni kwamasaka amancane omoya (alveoli) lapho umoya-mpilo ungena egazini. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, lokhu kucasuka kungaphenduka izibazi, okwenza umsebenzi wamaphaphu ovamile ube nzima kakhulu.

Kungani Amakhaya Asemadolobheni Asengozini Ephakeme

Inkinga inkulu ezindlini zedolobha lanamuhla. Izindlu ezindala zake zaba nosilingi ophakeme kanye nokugeleza komoya okuzinzile, kodwa amakhaya esimanje ahlangene, avaliwe, futhi ancike kakhulu ezinhlelweni zokupholisa. Njengoba ukungcola kukhula, abaningi bagcina amafasitela evaliwe ukuze kuvinjwe uthuli nentuthu. Lokhu kungase kunciphise ukuchayeka ngaphandle, kodwa kushiya umoya ongaphakathi endlini umile futhi kuvumela izinto ezingezwani nomzimba ukuthi zakheke.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, izakhiwo eziningi eziphakeme kakhulu zisebenzisa amasistimu okupholisa aphakathi nendawo anikezela ngamayunithi amaningi. Uma ngisho nesistimu eyodwa inganakekelwa kahle, izinhlamvu zesikhunta noma okunye ukungcola kungazungeza esakhiweni, kuthinte inqwaba yabahlali.

Izimpawu Ezicashile okufanele uzibukele

I-hypersensitivity pneumonitis ayibonakali ebusuku. Izimpawu zayo zivame ukulingisa ezomkhuhlane ongapheli noma ukungezwani komzimba nezinkathi ezithile zonyaka:

• Ukukhwehlela okomile okuhlala amasonto
• Ukuphelelwa umoya ngokuzikhandla okuncane
• Ukuqina esifubeni
• Ukukhathala noma i-malaise engachazeki
• Ukushisa okuphindaphindiwe noma ukugodola ngemva kokuchitha isikhathi endaweni epholile

Ngenxa yokuthi lezi zimpawu azicacisi, abantu abaningi bayazichitha noma belaphe ngemithi etholakala ezitolo. Kulapho izimpawu ziba zimbi kakhulu—ngezinye izikhathi zidlulela ekuphelelweni umoya—lapho iziguli zifuna khona usizo lwezokwelapha. Ngaleso sikhathi, umonakalo emaphashini kungenzeka ukuthi usuthuthukile.

Ukubhekisisa Kakhudlwana Ukuvimbela

Ingxenye eqinisekisayo ukuthi izimo eziningi zingavinjelwa ngokuzinza, ukunakekelwa okuyisisekelo. Isivikelo sokuqala ukuhlanza njalo nokusevisa ama-air conditioner. Izihlungi zidinga ukuwashwa noma ukushintshwa njalo ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa, kuye ngokuthi zisetshenziswa kanjani, futhi imigudu kufanele ihlolwe ukuthi ayinamanzi yini. Ezifundeni ezinomswakama, ama-dehumidifiers angasiza, njengoba umswakama owedlulele usheshisa ukukhula kwesikhunta.

Okubaluleke ngokufanayo ukugcina umoya othile wemvelo. Ngisho nokuvula iwindi kafushane kusiza umoya omdala ukuthi uphume futhi kwehlise ukunqwabelana kwezinto ezingezwani nasendlini. Izitshalo, nakuba ziwusizo ngokulinganisela, kufanele zinakekelwe ngokucophelela, njengoba ukuchelela ngokweqile kungakhulula izinhlamvu zesikhunta emoyeni ngaphakathi.

Iqhaza Lokuqwashisa Ngezokwelapha

Odokotela manje bakhuthaza ukuqwashisa okukhulu ngempilo yemvelo yasendlini. Ezikhathini eziningi, iziguli ezine-hypersensitivity pneumonitis ziphathwa njengesifuba somoya noma ukutheleleka okungenantuthuko. Umlando onemininingwane—obuza ngezimo zokuphila, ukusetshenziswa kwe-AC, noma ukuchayeka emsebenzini—ungaveza umlandu wangempela. I-imaging enesinqumo esiphezulu kanye nokuhlolwa kokusebenza kwamaphaphu kuqinisekisa ukuxilongwa.

Ukutholwa kusenesikhathi kubalulekile. Ekuqaleni, i-hypersensitivity pneumonitis ingaba ngcono uma umthombo wokuchayeka uqedwa. Kodwa uma ukuvuvukala kuqhubeka kunganqandwa, kungase kubangele izibazi ezihlala njalo (i-pulmonary fibrosis), kushiye iziguli zinenkinga yokuphefumula eqhubekayo.

Ukushaya Ibhalansi

I-air conditioning ngokwayo ayisona isitha. Eqinisweni, kubantu abanesifuba somoya, umoya opholile ngokuvamile unikeza impumuzo ngokunciphisa ukungcola kwangaphandle kanye nomswakama. Ingozi iba lapho sisebenzisa amayunithi e-AC njengamabhokisi avaliwe okunethezeka ngaphandle kokuhlonipha isidingo sekhwalithi yomoya. Amasistimu okupholisa kufanele asebenze ngokubambisana nokungena komoya, ukuhlanzeka, kanye nemikhuba yokuphila enengqondo.

Impilo yasemadolobheni idinga ukuyekethisa, kodwa impilo akufanele ibe enye yazo. Ukuthatha izinyathelo ezincane zokuvimbela—ukunikeza usizo okuvamile, ukuvumela ukujikeleza komoya, nokunaka izimpawu zakuqala—kungavikela amaphaphu ethu kuyilapho kusivumela ukuba sijabulele ukunethezeka kokuphila kwesimanje.

Umuzi wakho kufanele ube indawo yokwelapha, hhayi umthombo othule wokulimala. Uma uzithola uphelelwa umoya, ukhwehlela ngaphandle kwesizathu, noma ugula kaningi ngemva kwamahora amade usendlini, kungase kungabi “yisimo sezulu nje.” Umoya owuphefumulayo ubaluleke njengokudla okudlayo. Ukunakekela isipholisa-moya sakho, futhi ngokwandisa indawo ohlala kuyo endlini, akukhona nje ukunethezeka—kumayelana nokuvikela wona kanye amaphaphu akuthwala ukuphila kwakho konke.
